Panel approves technical fix to economic‑development statute to include goods‑sale facilities
Summary
Senator Lance Eads presented HB 18‑85 as a short cleanup to restore omitted language so facilities for the sale of goods are included in the definition of economic‑development projects; the committee approved the measure by voice vote.
Senator Lance Eads (Senate District 7) presented House Bill 18‑85 as a brief statutory cleanup. He said prior enabling legislation following a 2016 amendment to allow local governments and entities to participate in economic‑development projects had omitted a phrase that would explicitly include facilities for the sale of goods. HB 18‑85 re‑inserts that language so local governments and other entities have clear statutory authority to include such facilities in economic‑development projects.
Committee members asked no substantive questions; the committee moved and approved the bill (with an amendment noted as adopted) by voice vote.
